Chopthebass Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Time for some body sanding/buffing, and frets 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Love the fretboard timber...amazing figuring. One possible criticism could be that because you've chosen beautiful timbers for both neck and body they may compete for what to look at. Nice problem to have though.

GMC Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 That's very nice work you are doing! So you mind sharing what lacquer are you using? That's a nice glossy finish you have got there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice glossy finish you have got there! Thanks! I’m using WURTH Euroclear 2K. I use the 4:1 version and not the 2:1 it builds very well, and buffs great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not a lot of progress, but just seeing how it looks with the knobs. Body still needs sanding and buffing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickA Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Get another of those bridges run off and @funkle might buy it off you. He seems to be a bridge short of the exact Wal sound .. perhaps 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
